Board Member

I founded the company in 2003, authored or co-authored 7 of the Art of Problem Solving textbooks, and developed many of the courses for Art of Problem Solving's accredited online school.  I used to write some of the code for the site, but they don't let me do that much anymore.  I teach courses in our school from time to time, make a few videos here and there, and take care of things I can't convince anyone else to do.  But mostly, I write email.

Founder & CEO

I traded fixed income debt, primarily in emerging markets, though I dabbled in municipal bonds and mortgages as well.  I still can't believe they let me write as much code as I did.  If you know your fixed income market history, you can look at the end date and see how well that worked out.
